I love this idea. Nothing says "Milwaukee" like The Fonz.
Correction, nothing says "Milwaukee" like The Fonz, except for Laverne and Shirley.
Fonzie is a great start, but Milwaukee needs a variety of TV icons placed in bronze on it's streets and other prominent locations (in front of snobbish art galleries in the 3rd Ward, yes!). What a fun diversion for the six tourists that come to the city each year. And as a positive unintended consequence, we may help rid the city of dour, self important, no sense of humor residents, like these.
There were many great characters on Happy Days, I think the following also deserve their own statues.
- Richie Cunningham
- Howie & Marion Cunningham
- Potsie
- Ralph Malph
- Al and Arnold
- Lenny & Squiggy
- The Shark
Today Happy Days, tomorrow That 70's Show.

Mork.
After all, his first appearance was on Happy Days.
Not Donald Gramm, nor Liberace, nor....
Not even a statue of Mr. Harley, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Chalmers...
Yes. Yes. Yes... Any of these would beat the obscene guitar sculpture they are erecting in Waukesha.
I forgot about the Mork connection. Great addition.
